'Hidden Mickey' author to sign books

Residents are invited to meet the author of the "Hidden Mickey" series from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at Barnes & Noble, located in the Red Cliffs Mall, 1720 Red Cliffs Drive, St. George.

David W. Smith, author of the mystery series about Walt Disney and Disneyland, will be on hand to sign all the books in the "Hidden Mickey" series as well as his newest book, "In the Shadow of the Matterhorn: Intimate Stories about Life, Love, and Laughter at Disneyland."

The "Hidden Mickey" books are action and adventure mysteries about clues to something of great significance left by Walt Disney. Readers will discover underground passages, backstage secrets, Club 33 and other locations inside Disneyland that really exist.

"I wanted to bring readers closer to historical and interesting facets of Walt Disney's life while creating an intriguing treasure hunt that takes readers to secret locations inside Disneyland as well as places in Walt's history," Smith said.

As part of "In the Shadow of the Matterhorn," Smith reveals stories about the inner workings of Disneyland from his life growing up down the street from Magic Kingdom and his six years working at the park.

All of Smith's books have reached a top-10 sales rank on Amazon's Kindle. For information, visit www.synergy-books.com.

Lyndsi Houskeeper releases new album

"Come Unto Christ," the newest CD from inspirational recording artist Lyndsi Houskeeper, is available in stores and online.

Houskeeper has been writing music for the annual theme for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' Young Women organization for several years, and her newest release is another array of faith-filled music. With words of comfort and encouragement, each song reminds listeners of their worth and gives them courage to face their personal struggles, Houskeeper says.

One of the new songs, "His Love Remains," reminds listeners of the character of God, declaring that when hope is hard to find, his love is constant and unchanging.

The CD also includes a dedicatory song titled "Greater Things," written for her lifelong friend Joy Christensen Lindquist, who recently passed away after battling cancer for almost three years. Fellow local artist Nic Chamberlain is featured on the track "Right Here."

"Come Unto Christ" is available at Deseret Book and Seagull Book and can be ordered online or purchased in digital format from iTunes or Amazon.
